Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>World Vision Ghana, a Christian relief, development, and advocacy organisation, has won two prestigious awards at the 10th edition of the Ghana Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Excellence Awards.<\/b><\/p>\n

World Vision Ghana, which has over the years impacted positively on the lives of the most vulnerable children, was adjudged CSR Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) of the Year and the CRS Award for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Partnership.<\/p>\n

The awards scheme recognised World Vision Ghana\u2019s efforts in implementing unique community development programmes such as Livelihood Improvement and Family Empowerment, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, and the Unlock Literacy project.<\/p>\n

These programmes have increased households\u2019 food and nutrition security, income, and children\u2019s access to quality education, healthcare, safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities and services.<\/p>\n

Mr. Baafour Otu-Boateng, Board Chair of World Vision Ghana, stated in his acceptance speech that the recognition was an acknowledgement of their exceptional commitment to corporate social responsibility, transformative and impactful programming, and community development.<\/p>\n

He stated that World Vision Ghana used a unique community model and result-focused programming to address challenges and tackle the underlying causes of poverty and injustice that affect children\u2019s lives, their development, and their growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thrive on the trust we have built working with various stakeholders. Your trust helps the organisation do more for vulnerable children, their families, and communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aim to reach 3.3 million children with quality water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), livelihood, education, healthcare services, and economic transformation by 2025,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Otu-Boateng appealed to donors, development partners, private sector actors, and the government to partner with World Vision Ghana as they seek to meet the SDG Agenda 2030.<\/p>\n

Previously, World Vision Ghana was recognised by the Ghanaian government for its immense contributions to the fight against COVID-19 at the 2023 National Awards Ceremony.<\/p>\n

In 2021, World Vision Ghana won the UNESCO-Japan Prize on Education for Sustainable Development Award through its \u201cUnlock Literacy Project,\u201d which promotes a holistic approach to the development of literacy focusing on critical thinking, a core competency for sustainability, and the Millennium Excellence Award for Urban and Rural Development organised by the Millennium Excellence Foundation (MEF).<\/p>\n

In addition, World Vision Ghana also won the \u201cBest HR Management in the NGO Sector Award\u201d for the second year running at the 2021 and 2023 Awards.<\/p>\n

It also won the \u201cMost Outstanding Non-Profit Organisation Response to COVID-19\u201d Award and was a finalist in the category of \u201cBest Organisation in HR Information Systems Award,\u201d having previously won this in 2019.<\/p>\n
